Website Accessibility Statement

This website is run by Greenfield School, supported by e4education (part of Juniper Education). We want as many people as possible to be able to use this website. For example, the website allows users to access a high-visibility version which is designed for screen readers and assistive technology.

We have also made the website text as simple as possible to understand, and are committed to making further improvements to the way we describe our information and services.

AbilityNet has advice on making your device easier to use if you have a disability.

How accessible is this website?

The website is built on e4education’s latest Content Management System and is fully responsive and built in accordance with the WCAG 2.2 accessibility standards.

Accessibility Features

• Responsive Design: Our website is designed to work on various devices and screen sizes, including desktop computers, tablets, and smartphones.
• Keyboard Navigation: The website is navigable via keyboard to accommodate users who cannot use a mouse.
• Text Readability: We use clear and legible fonts, and adjustable text size to enhance readability.
• Alternative Text: Images and graphics include descriptive alternative text to assist users with visual impairments.
• Captioning and Transcripts: Multimedia content, such as videos, includes captions or transcripts where applicable.

We know some parts of this website are not fully accessible. For example:

• Some of the colours used do not meet colour contrast requirements.
• We do not provide a 'skip to content' link.
• Some multimedia videos do not have captions or transcripts.
• At times, only colour is used to differentiate hyperlinks from the rest of the page text. Hyperlink styling will be reviewed.
• ??????Some older multimedia videos on the site do not have alternative text and do not have captions or transcripts.
• We will aim to review all old multimedia videos and add text alternatives, captions and transcripts.

Ongoing Efforts

We are continually working to improve the accessibility of our website by:

• Screen reader compatibility: whilst our website has been built to include functionality that works with screen readers, we may need to make some improvements by working with our website provider.
• We commit to annual audits and user testing.
• We will incorporate feedback from users to enhance accessibility.
• We will endeavour to keep up to date with evolving accessibility standards and best practices.
